For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

俺？It's generally used amongst friends in casual conversations, referring to yourself informally.

Probably that then! I study Chinese (Mandarin) now, so that's a very unusual character to me. Apparently it has a similar meaning but it's only used in regional dialects.

Sorry, I wrote it in kanji because I thought you were still studying Japanese. (the character is ore)

Why did you decide on switching to learning Mandarin?

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Availability of native speakers local to me, and the fact I was initially attracted to Japanese by the characters and ended up essentially studying Chinese when researching their history. I may return to Japanese later, there's certainly plenty of study materials.
